We arrived in Oranjestad, Aruba’s largest port and the island’s capital on January 16, 2012. The weather was a balmy 86 degrees with a few passing clouds. During the afternoon we did get a few passing showers which cleared quickly.
On this trip we elected to not go to some of the beautiful legendary beaches, but instead take a walk into town. We looked through several of the shops and the only changes we saw were major price increases. The colorful buildings here in Oranjestad are always good to see.
We departed Aruba at 6:00pm en route to Cartegena, Columbia
